~8 min read 1,544 words

Qin Bi walked over quickly and asked, "Rong Chi, do you miss me?"

"I do," Rong Chi held out his little hands, "Hug me."

Qin Bi carried Rong Chi over. Rong Juan glanced at Qin Bi, saw she was unharmed, and finally relaxed. Rong Yuan arrived at the manor gate, and Rong Juan descended the steps to pick him up.

"Father," Rong Yuan said, "I have brought Mother back."

Rong Juan smiled, his eyebrows and eyes full of joy, "Your mother must be very surprised."

Rong Yuan was happy and showed Rong Juan a small sweet radish. Rong Juan raised an eyebrow, surprised to find such a thing in winter. Rong Yuan's small body tilted, and Rong Juan walked over to Qin Bi and Rong Chi.

The small sweet radishes Rong Yuan held were already peeled; he gave one to Rong Chi.

Rong Chi opened his mouth and took a bite of the small sweet radish. Rong Yuan let go, refusing to feed him, as he was still a toddler himself. Rong Chi had no choice but to hold the radish and eat it himself.

"Are there more?" the little milk bun asked, enjoying the taste.

"Yes," Qin Bi told him with a smile.

Now the little milk bun was truly happy. Rong Juan took Rong Chi, holding both children in his arms. They were small bundles, not heavy at all. Rong Juan brought his chattering wife and children home.

The little imperial prince followed behind, thinking the small sweet radishes the Princess Consort found were truly delicious.

Upon reaching the Young Master's courtyard, Qin Bi immediately brought out all the items she had collected. Rong Juan was stunned. The little milk bun's mouth hung open in shock, and Rong Yuan also looked surprised.

The little imperial prince was so shocked his chin nearly hit the ground, "Where did the Princess Consort go? To a small space in the Demon Beast Realm? Did spiritual food fall from the sky? Oh my, there are even river snails??????"

The little milk bun came to his senses and panicked, flapping about, "Mine, mine, mine!"

"Mother," Rong Yuan got down and refused to be held by the Young Master anymore. The child took Qin Bi's hand, looking at the various spiritual foods with bright, black eyes, "So many delicious spiritual foods."

"See what you like to eat," Qin Bi said, happy to see the children happy, "I will make it for lunch."

Rong Yuan ran to look at the items in the baskets. The little milk bun Rong Chi was extremely restless; seeing so many good things made him lively. The Young Master, helpless, had to let him down.

The little tot wobbled over to look at the baskets, and the little imperial prince hurried over to hold his hand.

"What happened?" the Young Master asked, "Such good luck?"

Qin Bi explained that she had been paired with the Su Young Master. The Young Master listened, surprised that the luck of both teams was so great; even with a luck array set up by the Immortal Sect, the harvest would not necessarily be this abundant.

"Go wash up and take a nap," Rong Juan said, worried Qin Bi was tired.

Qin Bi nodded, went to wash up, and then slept.

Rong Juan first lifted the little milk bun who was pawing at the river snails aside, prepared ink, paper, and a brush, and counted the harvest with Rong Yuan. Everything Qin Bi collected had to be reviewed by Rong Yuan.

Rong Yuan was young, but he was still the eldest son, the Young Master of Rong Wang Fu and Yan Guogong Fu.

As for the little milk bun? Rong Juan glanced over; the fellow was pawing at the river snails again, eating a small sweet radish, and playing with a small fish he had caught. They must eat the small fish for lunch.

The warehouse was opened, and the counted spiritual foods were moved inside.

After moving the spiritual ginseng and other items to the warehouse, the Young Master said to Rong Yuan, "I will go check on your mother. You stay here and keep watch; do not let Rong Chi kill the fish and shrimp."

"Okay," Rong Yuan agreed.

Remembering something, Rong Yuan put down the brush and ink, "I will go see if Mother is asleep."

Rong Juan thought it was fine; Qin Bi had been away from home for several days, and the children missed her. Rong Juan informed the First Strategist Lin Yao, arranged for people to sort the collected items first, and then called Rong Yuan to go to the inner courtyard bedroom.

In the bedroom, Qin Bi had already fallen asleep after washing up, snoring softly.

She was exhausted. Rong Juan sat by the bed, reached out to tuck the blanket around Qin Bi. Rong Yuan lay on the bed edge watching. The child did not disturb Qin Bi's sleep; if it were the little milk bun Rong Chi, he would not have been so quiet.

Qin Bi slept lightly and should not be disturbed, so Rong Juan and Rong Yuan left.

For lunch, they ate small fried fish and stewed a wild pheasant they had killed. Rong Juan went to the bedroom to check; Qin Bi was not yet awake. By the time he returned, the little milk bun was already waiting for the meal.

The little imperial prince gave a chicken leg to the little milk bun Rong Chi, and another to Rong Yuan.

The Young Master took a bowl and picked out the chicken heart, gizzard, liver, wings, and feet. The little milk bun stared, knowing these were saved for Mother, with none for him.

The little hands grabbed a chicken leg, and the little milk bun gnawed on it.

Rong Yuan wanted to eat the small fried fish, but the Young Master stopped him, "I will pick out the fish bones for you."

Rong Yuan gnawed on the chicken leg again. The little imperial prince said, "I will pick out the fish bones."

"Eat your meal first," the Young Master said, "After eating, watch the children. The Princess Consort just returned and is somewhat tired; she may sleep until dark. Do not let Rong Chi disturb the Princess Consort's sleep."

Hearing this, the little imperial prince hurriedly started eating.

As long as he took good care of the children, the Young Master treated him well. He could eat the spiritual foods together. Today's spiritual foods were especially good, all wild game collected from the small space in the Demon Beast Realm.

The Young Master picked out the fish bones and fed Rong Yuan, then fed Rong Chi.

Was he impatient? How could that be?

The Young Master was full of patience. They were all his own children. What if Rong Yuan was He Yan's child? He had raised him himself, they were close, so he was his own child.

Unlike the previous life, raising the son of a concubine brother, a white-eyed wolf, impossible to raise properly.

The little imperial prince ate his fill and watched the children; only then did the Young Master eat.

He also listened as Lin Yao recounted the collection in the small space of the Demon Beast Realm. The Young Master showed no emotion on his face, though he was somewhat surprised by the boost of luck. The Young Master sneered; what did it matter that Qin He had chased after them in a panic? They never encountered Qin Tan's group.

It was good to have shaken off Qin He. The Young Master felt that if he had been paired with Qin He, they might not have achieved this harvest.

In the afternoon, they continued counting the collected items. Rong Yuan held the brush in his small hand, recording carefully. Rong Chi did not like this, so the Young Master lifted him over; he had to watch even if he disliked it. The little imperial prince coaxed him too.

The little milk bun reluctantly took the brush. Seeing he was annoyed, the Young Master called him to go paw at the baskets.

Rong Chi might not have a head for numbers, but he still needed to know what his family possessed.

Some river snails were poured out and soaked in clear water to spit out the mud. Several children were looking forward to spicy stir-fried river snails for dinner. The Young Master ordered his subordinates to get chili peppers from the warehouse. The spiritual foods the children wanted were all in the Young Master's warehouse.

Qin Bi slept until mid-afternoon. The Young Master returned to the bedroom, "You are awake? Sleep a bit longer."

"Where are Rong Yuan and Rong Chi?" Qin Bi indeed did not want to move and wanted to sleep more.

"Playing," the Young Master chuckled lightly, "Waiting for spicy stir-fried river snails tonight."

Qin Bi smiled and said, "I love spicy stir-fried river snails too."

The Young Master nodded and covered Qin Bi with the blanket again, "Wait until the kitchen finishes dinner, and I will call you to eat. Sleep a bit longer. Should I call Rong Yuan to keep you company? Rong Yuan is free now; the collected items have been counted and stored in the warehouse."
